Hi Hunters!
This morning, I stumbled upon this amazing Chrome extension. I first saw the website and was very pleased by its designs, awesome presentation, the interactions were pretty nice and, as a designer, obviously, I was drawn to it.
Now for the product itself:
if you use Chrome (or another Chrome-based browser) and you often have too many tabs open, it might help you navigate between them. You can easily view the full title of a tab with this exention but you can also search within the pages themselves and that's a big change.
You also know how Chrome is memory-hungry and Tabbs helps pause tabs to free up memory so that's also a big plus.
I'm giving it a try today.
I like what I see but there's certain things that annoy me:
- No shortcut for sleeping tabs
- The font is huge and so is my monitor - I wish I could resize it
- The popup is too small and I wish I could resize it as well
- There's no tooltips. I couldn't tell the pin button was a pin because the icon is too stylized.
- Custom shortcuts would be a +1 but that's a minor complaint
@ackman Great attention to detail!
1. Do you mean you'd like to manually suspend tabs, or open the "Tab Nap" settings page?
2. it's 16pt, which is great for readability. We should consider customization here - good point.
3. Unfortunately, native Chrome extension windows don't offer too much customization (we hate that). We could go a different route, and embed the whole window into the code of each page, and some extensions do that, but it would negatively impact the performance. So the lack of window customization is a sacrifice we had to make
4. We should have tooltips - missed that one! Will fix in the next update
5. You can actually do that by going to "Manage extensions" -> "Keyboard shortcuts" (in the hamburger menu)
Thanks for this detailed feedback 🙏🏼
@ackman You can also navigate with ctrl j/k - we only added this in the latest version 😅 I agree that the Tab key should work as well, we should definitely add that.
Thanks so much for all the new ideas! You're contributing a lot to this project and we really appreciate that 🙏🏼 We'll try to add as many of these as we can over the coming weeks ☺️
@ackman@roman_tesliuk@batmot Gmail and others have this "density" settings which controls font size, padding and icon sizes all at once. Having this kind of option would be the best alternative imho.
@ackman@batmot That's a great Idea! Will definitely include that in our upcoming updates. We're planning to revamp the Settings page to include more options, this could definitely be one of them.
Thanks a lot for the feedback 🙏🏼
